American Idol: Women in History Script cover Studying key figures in the evolution of Women's History helps us to identify important role models whose lives exemplify values we all wish to follow. "American Idol: Women in History" brings alive the lives of famous Women in American History including such greats as Harriet Tubman, Susan B. Anthony and 14 more famous American women in this comical short play which is a take off on the American Idol television show and is great for Women's History Month presentations.

Synopsis:
 This comical spoof on the American Idol television show features 3 off-the-wall judges, a zany emcee and 16 contestants who rap their stories. As it turns out, this Idol program is all about famous women in American History, including Pocahontas, Susan B. Anthony, Harriet Tubman, Helen Keller, Anne Sullivan, Mary M. Bethune, Sally Ride, Antonia Novello, Rosa Parks, Shirley Chisolm, Sandra Day O’Connor, Clara Barton, Mme. C.J. Walker, Emily Dickinson, Edith Wharton, and Eleanor Roosevelt. Through a series of 16 comical raps, all delivered by the aspiring historical woman contestants, we learn why they have taken their place among the great and near-great in American history.

Description:
 This short play, ideal for a Women's History month presentation, contains 16 rap songs, features 3 strong male characters, 17 good female characters and several smaller supporting roles. Good for upper elementary, middle and high school students. Production ideas for sets, costumes, etc. are included. The hard copy version is 8 1/2" x 11" in size with spiral binding (which lets it lie flat on a desk, when opened) and color cover.

Here's one of our satisfied customers who bought this script:
"I'm a teaching artist and I was using Goodsearch to look for scripts about noted historical figures. It downloaded perfectly and I use a Mac. It opened in Microsoft Word which is nice because I can save the original and make changes easily. I especially like being able to enlarge the font size for young readers. This would be perfect for the teen girls' group homes where I used to work--they all love hip hop.
Thanks much--the e-book format is so convenient!
Best,
